Here’s a simple, tasty recipe for cabbage fritters using just shredded cabbage and eggs — crispy on the outside, soft inside:
Cabbage Fritters
Ingredients (makes ~8 fritters)
- 2 cups shredded cabbage (green or savoy)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (optional, helps bind)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2–3 tbsp oil for frying
- Optional spices: garlic powder, paprika, or herbs
Instructions
- Prepare the cabbage mixture:
- In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage, eggs, flour (if using), onion, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- The mixture should hold together but remain slightly loose.
- Heat the pan:
- Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Form fritters:
- Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter and flatten slightly in the pan.
- Cook:
- Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain:
- Remove fritters and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve:
- Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt, or a dipping sauce.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Add grated carrot or zucchini for extra veggies.
- Sprinkle cheese (like feta or Parmesan) into the mixture for a richer flavor.
- For a lighter version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Use gluten-free flour or oats instead of all-purpose flour if desired.
